Best practice for multi-language content in common areas

I've got a site with some text in header/footer/nav that needs to be translated between an English and Spanish site, which use the same design. My intention was to set up all the text as content to facilitate. However, if I use a standard dialog with the component's path set to a child of the current page node, I would need to re-enter the text on every page. If I use a design dialog, or a standard dialog with the component's path set absolutely, the Engilsh and Spanish sites will share the same text. If I use a standard dialog with the component's path set relatively (eg path="../../jcr:content/myPath"), the pages using the component would all need to be at the same level of the hierarchy.
It appears that the Geometrixx demo doesn't address this situation, and leaves copy in English. Is there a best practice for this scenario?

I'm finding that something to the effect of <cq:include path="<%= strCommonContentPath + "codeEntry" %>" resourceType ...
works fine for most components, but not for parsys, or a component containing a parsys. When I attempt that, I get a JS error that says "design.path is null or not an object". Is there a way around this?

You can make it happen by creating a private connection for 40 users by capi script and when creating portlet select 2nd option in Users Logged in section. In this the portlet uses there own private connection every time user logs in.
So that it won't ask for password.
Another thing is there is an option of entering password or not in ASC in discoverer section, if your version 10.1.2.2. Let me know if you need more information

BPC 7M SP6 - best practice for multi server setup

Experts,
We are considering purchasing new hardware for our BPC 7M implementation. My question is what is the recommended or best practice setup for SQL and Analysis Services? Should they be on the same server or each on a dedicated server?
The hardware we're looking at would have 4 dual core processors and 32 GB RAM in a x64 base. Would this adequately support both services?
Our primary application cube is just under 2GB and appset database is about 12 GB. We have over 1400 users and a concurrency count of 250 users. We'll have 5 app/web servers to handle this concurrency.
Please let me know if I am missing information to be able to answer this question.
Thank you,
Hitesh

I don't think there's really a preference on that point. As long as it's 64bit, the servers scale well (CPU, RAM), so SQL and SSAS can be on the same server. But it is important to look also beyond CPU and RAM and make sure there's no other bottlenecks like storage (Best practice is to split the database files on several disks and of course to have the logs on disks that are used only for the logs). Also the memory allocation in SQL and OLAP should be adjusted so that each has enough memory at all times.
Another point to consider is high availability. Clustering is quite common on that tier. And you could consider having the active node for SQL on one server and the active node for OLAP (SSAS) on the other server. It costs more in SQL licensing but you get to fully utilize both servers, at the cost of degraded performance in the event of a failover.

Best practices for translating FrameMaker content?

I'm interested in learning from Adobe or experienced users about best practices to follow (or references worth reading) about translating FrameMaker publications.

Haven't done this for a while, but I believe the first recommendation used to be "work with a reputable translation agency who will accept, translate and return .mif files." fwiw, I still remember a run-in with one agency that claimed they did but didn't … they passed our .mif files on to translators who used Word =8-} The result in our case was that all the autonumbering in a long, complex regulatory document failed, because Word had slipped a fine-space character in before every colon in the French translation.
A separate issue is whether it's worth moving to structured Frame, which is said to make translation management easier as your document evolves.
There'll be lots of people who can give you more complete, more up-to-date answers, though.

Best Practices for multi-switch MDS 9124 Impelementations

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone had any links to best-practices guides, or any experience, building mutli-swtich fabrics with the Cisco MDS 9124 or similar (small) switches? I've read most of the FibreChannel books out there and they all seem pretty heavy on theory and FibreChannel protocol operations but lack when it comes to real-world deployment scenarios. Something akin to the Case Studies sections a lot of the CCIE literature has, but anything would be appreciated.
Regards,
Meredith Shaebanyan

Hi Meridith
www.Whitepapers.zdnet.com has links to good reading. It has links to items like:
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/esx_san_cfg_technote.pdf is probably a typical SAN environment these days. It's basic and just put your 9124's in where the switches are.
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/hub_articles/san_fundamentals.pdf is for bigger SANs such as DR, etc.
Things to consider with 9124's are:
They can break so keep a good current backup on a tftp/ftp/scp server.
Consider that if you have all the ports used, the two 8 port licences are not going to work on a replacement switch as they are bound to your hostid. The vendor that sold the switch should be able to get replacements quickly but you will lose time with them.
Know exactly what the snmpserver command does as if you have your 9124 replaced and you load your backup config and you use Fabric Manager, it won't be able to manage the 9124 unless you change the admin password with snmpserver.
9124/9134's don't have enough Buffer Credits to expand beyond about 10 km.
Any ISL's used between switches should always be at least two and use Port Channels where possible.
The 9124 or 9124e or 9134 are great value based switches. I keep a spare for training and emergencies. We use them in a core/edge solution and I am very satisfied with them. I have only had one failure with Cisco switches in the last 5 years and it was a 9140 that sat around for far too long doing nothing. The spare meant we were up and running in 30 minutes from the time we noticed the failure and got to the data centre. As there were two paths, no one actually noticed anything. My management system alerted me.
Remember to make absolutely sure that any servers attached to the SAN have multipathing software. The storage array vendors (HDS, EMC, etc) can sell you the software such as HDLM or Powerpath. You can use an independent solution such as Veritas DMP. Just don't forget to use it.
Follow the guidelines in the two documents and get some training as the MDS training is very good indeed. 5 days training and you will be confident about what to do in any sized SAN including Brocade and McData.
A small SAN is just as satisfying as a large one. If in doubt, get a consultant to tell you what to do.
Is that what you was after? I hope it was not too simple.

Is there a best practice for multi location server setups including mac mail server?

Afternoon all,
Last year I setup a client with Snow Leopard Server including hosting his mail on the server with Mac Mail Server and calendaring. He now has plans to open other sites with the same setup, how can this be done using Mac Server? The implementation of a new server on the new site would be straight forward my concerns / question are:
1. How would the two servers communicate?
    a.)Do they need to communicate?
3. How will mail across the two sites work?
    a.) How will DNS work for email internally?
    b.) How will DNS work for emai externally?
4. How will calendaring work across the two sites?
Is Mac Server the best platform for moving ahead with this type of business need?
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Anthony

Camelot,
many thanks for the speedy reply. Your comments are very helpful thank you, if I may I will give you some for information and some other questions.
The offices will be from 5 miles to 25 miles apart, the new office and ones that follow will be considered as branches of the main office for example the company name is Sunflower and it serves area 1, then new will office will serve area 2 and so on. So in theory I could leave the main server domain and mail mx record as sunflower and then add further servers as 2.sunflower.com, 3.sunflower.com as domains and mx records? This would then provide unique mail records and users within the organisation such as [email protected] and [email protected], which doesnt look to good I would prefer all users to be name@sunflower how can this be acheived?
With regard to user activity in the whole users will be fixed but their will be floaters such as managers and the owners that may at times float from one office to the other and would beneift from logging into any machine and getting their profile.
I have thought about VPN's as I have acheieved this type of setup with Microsoft server products, I have found speed issues in some cases, how can this be acheived using OS X, are there any how to docs around? In the Microsoft setup I acheived this using netgear VPN Firewalls which ofcourse adds an overhead, can this be acheived using OS X propietary VPN software?
So ultimatley I would prefer to have the one domain without subs "sunflower.com" and users to be able to login to their profiles from either location. The main location now will remain as headoffice and the primary location and the new will be satelites.
I hope that covers all of your other question, again many thanks for your comments and time.
Kind Regards
Anthony

Best Practice for stopping unsolicited e-mails that are not detected as SPAM or Marketing?

I have roughly 40,000 mailboxes behind some IronPort appliances. My question for all of you veteran SMTP admins is how do you handle situations where you have an individual sending multiple e-mails to one of your mailboxes? It's not really a big enough of an issue to setup a content filter for the sending e-mail address, we don't have Blocklists roled out to everyone yet, so that's not a good fit, although I really like the IronPort quarantine with it's SafeList and Blocklist features.
What I'm looking for is do you even take the time to try to work with the sender and get them to stop sending the e-mails?
Do you bounce the e-mails back to the sender?
Setup a client side (Outlook) rule to just automatically delete the e-mails?
Just looking for some "best practice" or good advice on how to handle these minor issues. The major ones are easy but it's these little ones that turn into administrative issues.
Thanks all, look forward to your input...
Jason Meyer

If the sender is mailbombing you (sending a large number of mails just to flood your mailbox) then that's clear network abuse; you ignore him and complain to his system administrator or to his upstream provider. As that's likely to take some time if it works at all, you also want a block in place as soon as you've recorded enough evidence to document the abuse.
There used to be a vulnerability in MS Small Business Server whereby some chump would send out a mail to over 500(?) recipients including at least two SBS boxes with the bug. Each box would then send a further copy of the mail, thereby creating a loop. Swift coding was necessary to protect one's own recipients from the deluge. (And that's a sales argument in favour of appliances versus outsourcing to the Cloud, by the way.) Strictly speaking, the abuse was the fault of the SBS systems administrators rather than the original chump, so careful header parsing can sometimes be necessary.
A more likely scenario is that you have someone who just keeps on sending the odd spam, week after week. Let's take the worst case; that it's addressed just to you, the sender's domain is reasonably fragrant (or at least impractical to block) and there's no headers or body phrases that you can add to a filter to create a general solution. You have to block the specific sender.
At the moment I'm doing this with a simple dictionary-driven rule. If I get a complaint from any of my mailbox owners and am satisfied that nothing else will workthen I simply add the sender's address to the dictionary. The rule is already in place and only requires a dictionary update. One hallmark of this type of case is that I have no qualms about simply dropping the mail, rather than sending some sort of NDR.
Sender-blacklist: if (mail-from-dictionary-match("blocked-senders", 1)) { drop(); }
Now at the scale you are discussing, this solution may not work. Is there time to properly examine each case, or will your colleagues simply start slamming addresses into such a dictionary? How quickly will the list grow to the point where it starts to consume an unreasonable slice of your CPU time? Indeed, I'm not sure how far such a solution will scale even if processing capacity is not an issue.
I need a review process to remove addresses from my dictionary, but then the same principle applies to any filter that uses specific static data. I try to keep records of every case where I include such data, and if I cannot find justification for a specific listing then I remove it at once.

What is best practice for multi camera edit with differing lengths?

I have three cameras that took video of an engagement party. Camera A and B took it all (with some early extra material exclusive to each camera). Camera C took some, then stopped, then took more.
So I have four sets of clips - A and B which are complete, then C then D.
Should I create sequence 1 with A, B and C synchonised, then create sequence 2 with A, B and D synchronised, then sequence 3 with sundry early non-multi camera clips, plus sequence 1 plus sequence 2 then late non-multi camera clips?
Or can I synchronise A, B and C, then on the same timeline synchronise A, B and D? I'm concerned that the second synchronisation will put C out of sync.
What is the best way to approach this?
Thanks in advance.

A and B which are complete, then C then D.
I think you're looking at this in the wrong way. You have only three cameras, A, B and C, but you don't really have a D camera, as those are just other clips from camera C. You might call them C1 and C2 if you like, but calling them D seems to be confusing the issue, as it's still only three cameras, and three shots to choose from when cutting the sequence. (Except for the gap between C clips, where you will have only the A and B shots to choose.)
You can absolutely sync all the clips form camera C on the same sequence as A and B. And it will probably be easier to do so.

Best practice for multi-page site

Hello!
I am working on a website build entirely in Flex 3.
What is the best way to implement multiple pages as I don't want all loding at the same time?
Should I make a 'parent' mxml, say main.mxml (swf later on) which loads the other pages in a VBox where they should show?
Is there a better way?
Thank you!

Best practice for sharing html content on different group spaces?

How can html content be shared between several group spaces?
One way I have found is to add a html doc to ucm and then to add this doc as a iframe to a page.
Are there other ways, like adding on one group space page a html layout element and then to view this content in a different space. How could this be done, with an expression language reference?
Has someone experience in presenting the same html content on different spaces and can share how he does it. Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Max

Hey Max,
Check out our technical whitepaper on Integrating ECM with Portal Technologies.
Our "Fishbowl Portlets" allow you to share any content - HTML, WYSIWYG user generated content, documents etc - in multiple contexts (portlets, web apps, etc).
This is one of the things that we showcased as the recent Collaborate conference in Vegas - WebCenter framework, UCM and the portlets surfacing the same items in different contexts - all personalization aware, configurable and end user/super user editable.
The white paper can be found here:

Best Practice for multi lengual site

I have a site: www.powerhouse.com that we want to create a spanish version for. I decided to basically duplicate the site at url: www.powerhouse.com/espanol. The espanol site links to all the original css. I am running in to spacing issues given that spanish has more characters than english. For example: The main drop down menu bar across the top looks fine in english yet in spanish, 'About Us' ends up being 2 lines, screwing up my spacing on the bar. I am assuming that I should duplicate the css file and adjust it accordingly? I just want to make sure I am on the right track. It basically looks like I am going to have 2 sites to maintain.

Best practice for Admin viewing contents of network homes

How are you viewing the contents of your users' network home directories in the gui?
Is there a better way than logging in locally as root? I'd like to do this over AFP if possible.
Can I make an HomeAdmins group and propogate that group to have read access to all users' home folders? How about for new homes that are subsequently created?
Thanks,
b.

You probably know this already, but:
1. Nothing bad should happen if you change the group owner of your home directories unless you're using the current group ownership for something important.
2. If you set the setgid bit on the root directory of the sharepoint and it is owned by the admin group then new folders created within should have the group owner you want. There are various ways to ensure the home directories would have the proper permissions.

Best practice for optimizing processing of big XMLs?

All,
What is the best practice when dealing with large XML files ... (say couple of MBs).
Instead of having to read the file from the file system everytime a static method is run, what would be the best way in which the program reads the file once and then keeps it in memory. So the next time it would not have to read and parse it all over again?
Currently my code just read the file in the static method like ...
public static String doOperation(String path,...) throws Exception
try{
String masterFile = path+"configfile.xml";
Document theFile = (Document)getDocument(masterFile);
Element root = theFile.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nl = root.getChildNodes();
// ... operations on file
Optimization tips and tricks most appreciated :-)
Thanks,
David

The best practice for multi-megabyte XML files is not to have them at all.
However if you must, presumably you don't need all of the information in your XML, repeatedly. Or do you? If you need a little bit of it here, then another little bit of it there, then yet another little bit of it later, then you shouldn't have stored your data in one big XML.
Sorry if that sounds unhelpful, but I'm having trouble imagining a scenario when you need all the data in an XML document repeatedly. Perhaps you could expand on your design?

Best Practices for JMS Service Documentation

Our software consists of a variety of JMS producers and consumers used to transform and transmit business to business messages on a large scale.
The service nodes do a variety of things, and we've had trouble over the years ensuring every queue-based service clearly identifies the parameters and payload it accepts, so that everyone from programmers to system administrators can easily see what services are available and how they are to be used.
Some have advocated always adding a web service in front of each message-based service to guarantee interface contracts are all well publicized. I think there are reasons to choose web services and reasons to choose message-based services, and am not convinced this is the right answer to address limitations in expressing the design contract for a message-based service. That said, I really like what we've been able to do with self-documenting web services based on annotations, and wonder if there's a conceptual equivalent in message-based software.
What are your best practices for ensuring your message-based services are as self-documenting as your modern web service?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Best Practice for trimming content in Sharepoint Hosted Apps?

Hey there,
I'm developing a Sharepoint 2013 App that is set to be Sharepoint Hosted. I have a section within the app that I'd like to be Configuration-related, so I would like to only allow certain users or roles to be able to access this content or even see
that it exists (i.e. an Admin button, if you will). What is the best practice for accomplishing this in Sharepoint 2013 Apps? Thusfar, I've been doing everything using jQuery and the REST api and I'm hoping there's a standard within this that I
should be using.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can weigh in here.
Mike

Hi,
According to
this documentation, “You must configure a new name in Domain Name Services (DNS) to host the apps. To help improve security, the domain name should not be a subdomain
of the domain that hosts the SharePoint sites. For example, if the SharePoint sites are at Contoso.com, consider ContosoApps.com instead of App.Contoso.com as the domain name”.
More information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161237(v=office.15)
For production hosting scenarios, you would still have to create a DNS routing strategy within your intranet and optionally configure your firewall.
The link below will show how to create and configure a production environment for apps for SharePoint:
